Compassionate Wrongful Death Guidance
Losing a loved one is an indescribable tragedy, especially when it stems from an avoidable accident. At Gregory Wright Law Offices, S.C., we understand the emotional hardship this loss can cause, and we want to help you seek justice for the harm your loved one suffered. Our injury attorneys can help you prosecute your wrongful death claim to hold the liable party accountable for their actions.
The Importance Of Timing In Wrongful Death Cases
In wrongful death cases, the timeline from the moment of the accident to the moment of death is critical. These two timestamps are crucial in establishing the chain of events that led to the wrongful death. This information is vital not only for building a strong case but also impacts compensation claims due to statutory limitations.
Wisconsin law places caps on certain types of damages in wrongful death cases, which can limit the compensation families might otherwise receive, but not all forms of compensation are capped. Our goal as your injury representation is to maximize the compensation you receive for your injuries.
Guidance Through Your Entire Claim
Our approach focuses on a detailed analysis of the accident and the resulting legal implications. We take the time to gather all of the unique information in these claims, including consulting with expert witnesses and reviewing the available evidence. As we represent our clients, we also answer their pressing questions, such as:
What are the first steps I should take if I suspect a wrongful death?
If you believe that your loved one was the victim of a wrongful death, contact us immediately. In the meantime, do not discuss the details of your loved one’s passing with anyone, and do not accept any settlement offers from the liable party or their insurance. Finally, be sure to keep records of all correspondence surrounding the passing, and document all conversations as well.
How do statutory caps affect my wrongful death claim?
In Wisconsin, statutory caps limit noneconomic damages in medical malpractice wrongful death cases to $750,000, but economic damages and punitive damages are not subject to these caps. We can review the unique factors of your loved one’s passing to determine what the potential maximum is for a compensation claim.
Can your firm handle cases involving complex timelines and expert testimony?
Our extensive experience in these cases allows us to address even the most complicated wrongful death claims for our clients. When a detailed timeline analysis is needed, we consult with seasoned professionals to build a compelling case on your behalf.
